I got a bit of a surprise on Sunday afternoon when I went outside after a tea break - there were a group of six people standing on our drive. I recognised Nicole in the group but then did a complete double-take when I saw a car in our hedge with its back wheels in the potager.
What had happened was that a disabled lady who was on her way to visit our new neighbours opposite had stopped her car on their (uphill) drive. Then it appears she had selected R (Reverse) instead of P (Park), shot backwards down the drive across the road, over the verge, through our hedge and into the potager. I found her name was Marie-Pierre and she was stranded in the car, her 85 year old mother had managed to get out.
Dominique had been called and arrived with his tractor and, remarkably, managed to pull the car out if the hedge and across the road. Even more remarkably the car was undamaged and started first time.
Interesting the people you meet on your drive .......
